Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage-Chapter 937

Chapter 937: Swarm of Bees

"No wonder this place was once where the Sky Sword trained, the trials are really difficult."

After Xia Jie learned about the requirements to pass Crystal Creek Valley, he breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't seem like an unsolvable problem to him.

It's just killing a million crystal bees like the ones we encountered earlier, with a hundred thousand Grass Spirits and fifty thousand Big Grass Spirits.

Although it is rare for the human world to have such a large number of third-tier military units, it is mainly because the human's logistical capabilities are simply unable to support such a huge number of troops.

But the difference in combat power between hero-ranked and third-tier elites is absolute.

Especially in terms of killing ability and maneuverability, his twelve Black Cavalry far surpasses this group of crystal bees who can only rely on instinct to fight.

As long as he is given enough time, there is no need for others to intervene, his Black Cavalry can completely eliminate this large number of crystal bees.

"Leave it to me, large-scale tactics are my field." As the commander of the Black Cavalry, Xia Jie has absolute confidence in his strongest army.

"Brother, you are thinking too simply." Xia Ling's face is extremely bad, compared to Xia Jie who hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation, she is the one who truly understands why Yun Xi is anxious.

It's not that we don't trust the fighting abilities of the Black Cavalry. Whether it's Xia Jie, the commander known as the "Tyrant," or the fearless Twelve Black Knights, they are all strategic weapons capable of dominating the battlefield.

The problem is that this battlefield is the absolute home turf of the enemy!

"On a normal battlefield, big brother, your Black Cavalry can defeat these crystal bees."

"But that's only possible if we have a strategic advantage."

"Big brother, have you thought about what we should do if we can't leave this valley and have to face millions of crystal bees?"

Xia Jie paused, realizing the problem.

Yes, the advantage of a hero-ranked over a third-tier mortal is overwhelming.

Strength, speed, endurance - heroes on the path to transcendence can easily defeat hundreds or even thousands of elite third-tier mortals, even without using the powers of a God Weapon.

In essence, strong heroes and elite humans are not considered the same kind of beings.

Even when faced with a large group of powerful enemies, heroes can easily escape and then come back to fight at full strength.

That's why he is confident that he and the Black Cavalry can complete the million-kill trial.

But there's one condition for this plan—it relies on having enough space in the valley for their maneuvering.

If there's no room to move, what will happen when only ten heroes are surrounded by over a million third-tier soldiers?

Xia Jie is just a little too indulgent with his younger sister, but he's not really foolish. That's why he is considered the heir to the Great Xia dynasty.

"Oh no!" The forecasted results made Xia Jie's face change for the first time.

There is some bad news... Yun Xi really didn't want to be the bearer of bad news, but the current situation made it necessary to speak up:

"These bees are just the lowest-level small monsters in this trial."

Next, they will have to face stronger Grass Spirits and Big Grass Spirits.

They won't be able to leave this valley unless they kill enough of them.

Without Yun Xi even having to remind them, the guards of the Great Xia Dynasty quickly started building a defensive camp.

Only the chosen ones who have obtained the mark of the White Lotus Secret Treasure can enter the trial, but they can't bring any tools with them.

In just a short moment, a war fortress about thirty meters high, in the shape of an octagon diamond, with each corner standing tall with engraved runes, and filled with a large number of Spirit Stones, was built.

The immense wealth of the Great Xia Dynasty was suddenly revealed.

The cost of building this fortress of war is probably higher than the entire White Lotus Sword Palace. Inside, it holds enough supplies to sustain this small team for over three years in the most extreme conditions.

Moreover, besides the stored Spirit Stones, the fortress itself is powered by the energy of the earth's veins. It can absorb the power of the earth's veins to defend and counterattack, making it a true fortress that combines offense and defense.

Apart from being immobile, this fortress has no weaknesses.

Being able to split such a weapon of war into a size that a team can carry represents the strength of the Great Xia dynasty in terms of war machines.

Dragon Palace City - that is the name of this fortress. It is the highest level fortress beneath the Dragon Emperor's palace, used only by the Great Xia emperor. The Great Xia dynasty specifically provided this invincible shield to Xia Jie and Xia Ling.

But even the skilled artisans who built this fortress of war could not have imagined the terrifying trials it would face in the White Lotus Secret Treasure trial.

"I didn't expect to bring out our trump card so soon," Xia Ling frowned as she watched the logistical support team continuously adjusting various formations.

"Could it be that the trials Yun Hai the Sword Master went through were truly so cruel?"

No, back then, he only fought against small monsters with a combat power of about the first tier... Yun Xi thought it would be better not to tell the princess of the Great Xia the truth before him.

"I refuse to believe that there is no other way to break through besides killing ten million crystal bees!"

Xia Jie clearly did not accept his fate. With his twelve Black Cavalry, he charged straight into the depths of Crystal Creek Valley, trying to find a way out of the valley.

About ten minutes later, there was a large sound of wings flapping and strange "shua, shua" noises coming from the depths of Crystal Creek Valley.

A legion of crystal bees, numbering over three thousand, chased after the Great Xia prince's team with great force as they emerged from the respawn nest.

In addition to these crystal bees, the two other monsters mentioned in Yun Hai the Sky Sword's diary also made their appearances one by one.

Like the transformed crystal bees, the names of these two monsters also changed, transforming from weak to powerful creatures.

The Crystal Grass Spirit—sharp leaves resembling sword orchids, standing over two meters tall. No one would associate this creature with weak and powerless plant spirits.

The Crystal Big Grass Spirit—covered in deep green emerald leaves and reaching a height of five meters, some even believed it to be a giant.

Although their aura remained below the third rank, the strength of the two Grass Spirits clearly surpassed the limits of humans, entering a realm beyond imagination.

This realm was not unfamiliar to Yun Xi, for strictly speaking, he himself was also a special existence in this way.

His hero-ranked status, which is equivalent to the rank of a hero, has not yet reached the fourth rank. Just like his childhood sweetheart, he possesses a power that surpasses the usual standards.
